Those first 2 part numbers that you mention
1823-656 and
1823-658 are not for Torque-Flite at all, but are for manual
transmissions.
Yes !! I forgot the "manual" word ...
1823-740 is not in my 55 - 58 DPCD Parts book.
I know ... But it is in the '57 passenger car parts lis from Chrysler
corporation of Canada !!
I'll never know why these 2 parts manual are different for some Tqf
numbers !
I've a friend who has a 300 C export convertible (one of the five ..).
We overhauled the trans. some years ago so i found the # as usual.
I was at this time in contact with George Riehl (i wanted order a Tqf
kit ..) so i told him the # of this "C" Torqueflite : 1823 734. He
told me that these number was incorrect and wasn't the original number
(must be 1854 123) but why my friend's trans has the number which is
showed in the canadian parts book ? In the canadian book , ther's no
1854 123, only 1823 734 !! Early production (i don't think so because
my friend's car is from may 57) ? Export transmission ?
I'va also other "sports cars" Tqf trans. which aren't i suppose in the
US 55-58 parts list: 1823 736 ('57 Adv) and 1823 738 ('57 D500)
All these transmissions have a different "part N° service"
